John and Craig cover endings, both for craft and for business.
First they articulate the importance of the denouement and the
social contract it fulfills with the audience. Then they discuss
what happens to a writer’s work after their death.

We also follow up on pitching, and introduce a new segment:
Change Craig’s Mind. This week: Ventriloquists!
